Rashes

If you're in your 50's --or older-- the 'lump' could be arthritis... If a 'lump' in the neck area actually keeps you from raising your head, there is a possibility it could be Ankylosing spondylitis [see attached article on WebMD] Any history of trauma to the involved areas? I cannot think of any other generalized condition that displays this sign & symptom... Oh... One additional thought... You didn't mention signs such as purple stretch marks on your abdomen, round --or moon-- face, diabetes, back pain, etc... This particular problem is known as "Cushing's Disease"... See Indocrine and Metabolic Diseases Information Service URL attached... If the lump has caused a circumference of numbness around it, then it has extended into the nerve tissues of the dermis. This is not a good sign. Instead of listening to everybody's best guess on FAQ Farm, go do the doctor's immediately. Without a proper evaluation and history, one can only give you an educated guess. This needs to be seen by an experienced doctor...NOW!

put anti itching powder or cream on it and see a doctor

Triamcinalone was given to me by my pediatrician to help my extremely sensitive baby with diaper rash.

Methylprednisone is a steroid. Usually used for reducing inflamation and itching.

There are many people, besides the other poor, that have spent their lives in Africa helping the poor.

Paul Carlson and his family come to mind first. A missionary that gave his life in the Congo is only one, of thousands of examples of the people attempting to help the poor there.

Mother Theresa is most likely the individual you are trying to remember. She is the most noted currently and received the most awards for her work.

It is a good idea to visit the nearest doc and get it examined, however, doesnt sound that abnormal and can be skin tags.

You might want to opt for Cryotherapy.

Allergy doctor suggested it might be an allergy to one of the chemicals used to treat elastic to make it into clothing. We have started purchasing underwear with no elastic, or elastic that is completely encased in cloth. That seems to clear up the rash. One place we purchase the underwear is Hanna Andersson, although it is pricey. We are considering sewing our own.

The best way to treat this is to use a gentle moisturizing soap or lotion, such as Dove or Eucerin, on the affected areas. If this doesn't work well. Find some hydrocortisone cream. Purchase the variety available over the counter and apply it to the affected sites. Finally if this doesnt fix the problem, consult your physician or dermatologist for his/her recommendation. As a last resort, consider asking the person to shave if it becomes a major problem and no medication can easily alleviate the affected problem sites.

A rash in the groin can be something as simple as folliculitis, or eczema, to something as bad as a STD or an Sti. If it is a cause of concern, it is best to seek medical attention.

A person with primary HIV would get a rash later on in the disease progression. Some people will have flue like symptoms when they first catch HIV.

You might check if it is shingles. My husband had a pimply looking rash that started on his neck and started to spread down his arm. At first it didn't itch, but after 5 days he had some pain. The doctor diagnosed it as shingles and said that the rash spreads along the nerves on one side of the body. It happens when you're stressed and it comes from chicken pox that has been dormant. It will probably last for two weeks.

That's part of the healing process. It will take around 3-4 weeks for the redness, itchiness and peeling to all stop.

email someone from willowmoonherbals.com they are great!

If it is not a rash, just a regular itch, itch it, not too hard. If it persists, try anti-itch cream.

Pityriasis Rosea possibly

I dont no but my Mum calls it sea lice, even tho sea lice dont rele effect humans

Here is a simple answer. Soil has bacteria in it and some soils have more nasty bacteria in them than others when it comes to human health. The dust that is kicked up by a large group of people circulates such bacteria and then your skin has an allergic reaction. Your skin and digestive system normally is made up of bacteria providing some positive services to the human body.

So it's "kicked-up bacteria," which, as Dave Barry says, would make an excellent name for a rock group. Maybe one of those country-punk bands.

This could be the cause if the baby is wearing "tagless" clothes (ex. instead of the material strip sewn into the seam, there is ink label imprinted directly on the material and usually in the back). We discovered our baby began having a redness at 6 weeks, which turned into a big open sore that she had to be hospitalized. We only discovered last month that her Carters tagless clothing, which she wore exclusively was the culprit and had actually caused a chemical burn (her pediatrician diagnosed this problem). Here is our blog with pictures of her wounded back: http://avastaglesshorrorwithcarters.blogspot.com/

Yes. Periods of greater than 50 years are not uncommon.

you should go to www.webmd.com for that question.

This could be thrombocytopenia. My son had it when he was 2.5yrs old after getting the flu. If it is this it won't go away and is very serious requiring medical attention.

There are many different possible causes of skin rashes, so therefore there is no single remedy. Different kinds of ointments exist for burns, infections, or allergic reactions. Of course, if you have an allergy, it is more important for you to avoid the substance to which you are allergic, than it is to apply an ointment.

most allergic reactions will go away on itself over time but it depends 100% on what allergy a gluten allergy will be different then a milk allergy etc. i strongly recommend visiting a Doctor if the rash doesn't go away on its own

yes, they most defiantly can!

panty liners will cause a rash if worn every day!

this is because the allow bacteria to breed, vaginal discharge is socked by the liner and it is in constant contact with your skin.

an infection is possible, whens the last time you took a bath or wash yourself

scabies are still around because people still use old used matresses. Also people live in dirty crowded places. so people what the hell are u thinking get a new matress and clean up your place now hurry run do it now or you will get cursed with scabies
